Yes you can. You will need to buy filters the reusable filter did not come with mine. Do not make a full pot of coffee or the grounds will run over as well. Lynn M N

I use any coffee and grind it fine ( or buy it already ground). As long as you don't grind it too small there is no problem. I usually get a dark, deep roasted espresso like one. I hope this helps.

No, you cannot grind anything other than roasted coffee. Grinding other things may damage the machine and/or cause injury. It is certainly not covered by the warranty.

U can use u'r coffee but with special filters. I tried the filter purchased at the grocery or discount type stores and it didn't work for me. The best type is an additional piece 4 the machine that would be easier, less time consuming and work better; however, I wasn't willing to spend $48 more. Pay a little extra and buy a good machine, one that will be worth the money and give u the enjoyment of a good cup of coffee.

You can definitely use pre-ground coffee. Before you start your pot, you would simply turn off the grinder with the grind button. Refer to your owner's manual for more details if you need them

Yes. Works the same as a standard no-grind coffeemaker. There is a selector button to turn off the grind function

hello richard, in the instruction booklet it says " use this appliance to grind coffee beans only. grinding other substances, such as nuts, spices or unroasted beans may dull the blade and cause poor grinding or injury. hope this helps you out. but i'll tell you, i love this appliance. i grind my coffee beans every moring for coffee. yummmm.

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. I don't have an espresso machine but I was under the impression that you used ground coffee.

No matter which coarseness you select with the switch, you will get a certain amount of finely powdered coffee. I've never tried it, but I wouldn't doubt if the grind could be adjusted so the entire grind is super fine. The resulting coffee would have to be used in a machine with a different filter system though, because the mesh screen in the SoloFill cups would allow too much to pass through and you'd end up with a lot of sediment in your coffee.

No - The unit is designed to use only pods and can't be modified ( according to the company ) to accept ground coffee.

first off so you do not do what most people do and if you unscrew it wrong you can break the top plastic. You can go to a good store like bed bath and beyond and you should be able to get a burr grinder that is relatively inexpensive. The only thing that blade grinder is good for is the kitchen with grinding herbs. You should grind for a medium grind and it did mine between the medium and fine and then follow the instructions for how to load the grinds and then brew and you should have a great cup of coffee. Remember to always never bang the grinds out, you blow through the tube into the trash or where ever you discard the grinds because you will damage it if you bang out the grinds. Hope this helps

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

Hi Jennifer! Yes, you can, but because it is a much finer grind than "percolator grind" I would recommend a paper filter below and above the grounds in the basket. This will reduce the liklihood of grounds in your cup.

Weigh and grind what you need completely, remove the empty bean holder, and use a brush to clean the burrs and chamber. Mainly an issue for finer grinds. For drip coffee, the finest of the coarse settings works, and tipping the grinder while it finishes grinding and giving it a slap empties the chamber. That won't work for finer grinds, and you'll need a brush. The brush provided is inadequate, so you'll have to buy one.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!
